Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This seminar is conceived for students who have fun solving problems that
require tricky applications of basic mathematical knowledge and a lot of
clever and creative thinking. The proposed exercises stem from many
different areas of mathematics, the correct recognition of the applicable
theoretical tools represents a big part of the interest but also of the
difficulty of the problems and distinguishes them from the classical
exercises in introductory seminars.

Assessment and permitted materials

Bewertung der vorgerechneten Aufgaben, der Mitarbeit und des Engagements beim Lösen der Aufgaben.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Examination topics

During the semesters short tlks will present several selected topics that
may be relevant for the solving certain classes of problems. The main
focus of the seminar is of course to train the skill of solving problems
and there is no better way of doing this than treating and solving as many
exercises as possible. Moreover 4 participants will have the chance to
represent the University of Vienna in August at the International
Mathematics Competition for University Students 2007.
